본 논문을 통하여 Metamaterial 특성을 가지는 CRLH 전송선 구조를 이용하는 초광대역 대역저지 여파기의 설계를 제안한다. 기존에 사용되던 주기구조, 또는 다단의 CRLH 전송선이 아닌, 단일 쎌 구조를 이용하여 기존 반파장 공진기 기반의 여파기나 임피던스 교번형 저역통과 여파기 등에서 나타나는 길이가 길어지며 Chebyshev형의 낮은 스커트 특성을 가지는 단점을 보완하고, 기존에 없던 초소형 구조를 제시한다. 또한, 초광대역 저지특성을 위하여 계단형 임피던스 구조를 포함한 강결합 Metamaterial 구조를 제안하고 0차 공진을 이용한 초소형화 기법을 제시한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 설계의 타당함은 3D EM 모의실험과 제작 및 측정을 통하여 검증하며 여파기의 크기를 ${\lambda}_g/10$ 이하로 감소, 12 GHz를 초과하는 차단대역, 통과대역의 0.7 dB 삽입손실 등의 주파수 영역 특성 결과를 보인다.

칩 인덕터를 이용하여 넓은 저지 대역과 소형화 특성을 갖는 C-밴드 semi-lumped 저역 통과 여파기를 제안하였다. 칩 인덕터의 자기 공진 주파수(SRF: Self Resonance Frequency) 특성을 유지하기 위하여 추가된 분리형 인덕터와 SRF 특성으로 인해 발생되는 감쇠 폴을 이용하여 광대역 저지 대역과 높은 저지 특성을 얻을 수 있었다. 3차 elliptic function 여파기에 칩 인덕터(L: 9.1 nH, SRF: 5.5 GHz, Q: 25)를 적용한 결과, 마이크로스트립 라인 인덕터로 구현한 여파기보다 크기가 37.4 % 감소하였으며, 삽입 손실이 0.38 dB, 차단 주파수는 920 MHz, 1.43~7.8 GHz의 넓은 저지 대역(20 dB 이하) 특성을 가졌다.

In this paper, we propose a microstrip bandpass filter using stepped-impedance coupled-line hairpin resonators. The stepped-impedance coupled-line hairpin resonator has extended harmonic suppression in comparison with a conventional hairpin resonator due to transmission zero and the movement of harmonic frequencies resulting from the stepped-impedance characteristic. A high-pass type impedance/admittance inverter is employed in order to improve the lower frequency skirt characteristics of the passband. A 4-pole bandpass filter is designed and fabricated at 1.8 GHz. The measured results show the excellent attenuation performance at the stopband which is greater than 30 dB up to 10 GHz.

This paper presents a new class of microstrip slow-wave open-loop resonator filters with reduced size and improved stopband characteristics. A comprehensive treatment of both ends loaded with triangular and rectangular ends is described, leading to the invention of a microstrip slow-wave open-loop resonator. Two-resonator and four-resonator bandpass filters are designed at the operating frequency of about 2 GHz, and a bandwidth of 60 MHz. The size of the slow-wave open-loop resonator is optimized from the standpoint of the unloaded Q-factor. The filters are not only compact in size due to the slow-wave effect, but also have a wider upper stopband resulting from the dispersion effect. The filter designs of this type are described in details. The experimental results are demonstrated and discussed.

This paper proposes a tunable combline bandpass filter with high selectivity, constant bandwidth, and good stopband performances. A filter with these characteristics is obtained by applying cross-coupling to the conventional combline bandpass filter using stepped-impedance resonators(SIRs). For high selectivity and constant bandwidth, cross-coupling is utilized and the SIR configuration is used for enhanced stopband performances. The proposed combline tunable bandpass filter with 5% of fractional bandwidth at 1.6 GHz was fabricated and tested. The measured results showed 11.6% tunability with constant bandwidth, high selectivity and enhanced stopband characteristics.

A novel compact and low-loss VHF bandpass filter is presented with enhanced stopband performance using metamaterial zeroth order resonator (ZOR) characteristics. An in-line ZOR filter is initially suggested and changed to have transmission zeros (TZs) due to source-load coupling for effective improvement of the isolation from UHF wireless channels. The proposed filter is smaller than 1/10 of the conventional filters in terms of size and has relatively very low insertion loss (< 1 dB for the electromagnetic (EM) simulation and < 3 dB for the measurement) and return loss (<-20 dB) in the passband due to the approximately 80% size reduction and the higher isolation in the stopband due to the TZs. The circuit and EM simulation are in good agreement with the measurements.

The design of a new compact UWB bandpass filter is proposed, which has cascaded center-tapped microstrip composite right/left-handed transmission-line zeroth-order resonators (CRLH-TL ZORs). In an attempt to reduce the size, instead of the conventional half-wavelength resonators or periodic and multiple CRLH-TL cells, only one cell ZOR geometry is adopted as each resonator in the filter. Additionally, two center-tapped ZORs are coupled to increase the slope of the skirt. Besides, stepped impedance matching parts are placed in the paths to the input and output ports to enhance passband and stopband performances. The proposed filter is shown to have the overall size of $0.69{\lambda}_g{\times}0.70{\lambda}_g$, the insertion loss much less than 1 dB, and an acceptable return loss performance in the predicted and measured results.

A novel application of a dual-transmission line is proposed to design a lowpass filter (LPF). The proposed structure uses only transmission line elements to produce an equiripple LPF response with sharp roll-off. Design equations are derived using a lossless transmission line model. Controlling the electrical lengths, three transmission-zeros are realized in the stopband to obtain a sharp roll-off rate and wide stopband bandwidth. A single unit microstrip LPF with a 3-dB cut-off frequency at 1.0 GHz having a roll-off of 135 dB/GHz along with a stopband bandwidth of 69.5% is designed for validation.

In this paper, a novel photonic bandgap(PBG) structure is proposed for increasing stropband of lowpass filter without the size increment of circuit for application in microstrip circuits. The proposed structure is connected in parallel two periodic structures which have different center frequency of the stopband. The wide stopband is achieved by two periodic structures of two different stopbands. We also show the performance improvement of microstrip patch antenna by etching of the proposed structure in ground plane.

The goal of this study is to realize the PBG lowpass filter using novel PBG structure modification both upper layer and ground layer. It has been designed three aperture slots of ground layer for PBG structure which the center slot shape of ground is two type, rectangular and dumbbell. This PBG LPF llas the character of the broader stopband and smaller size than typical LPF. The measurement results have matched the simulated ones. It has the cutoff frequency of each 4.4650Hz and 3.520Hz and at least -2OdB of the signal suppression at the stopband.
